TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- A University of Arizona student fatally shot two men who forced their way into his off-campus home early Thursday, Tucson police said.
The 23-year-old student was in the small backyard guest house where he lived several blocks north of the university about 12:30 a.m. when two men in their 20s came to the door and forced their way in, police spokesman Sgt. Fabian Pacheco said. The student armed himself with a handgun and shot them both, then called police.

I wonder how many familes have been saved from terror, murder and theft because of this.
Yes, they are very saddened...
Yet, they are poised to “change” that into joy on November 4th, and “hope” to celebrate on November 5th, and complete the course change “that you can count on” on January 20th, 2009...
You know...They believe “spreading the wealth” has worked pretty good for the country when they can get away with doing it...
I know...Steve is full of good tidings and cheer this season...;-)
Recently served in the Marines. That probably means killing these perps didn’t bother him a bit. Good for him! OooooRahhhh!
Love to know if the kid is in line for a military commission via ROTC or if he's already a combat veteran and attending school on the GI Bill. Either way, bad guys are running new risks in targeting college students .... off campus.
I was sorta hoping when I read this that the UA the article referred to was my old alma mater, The University of Alabama. This article, from my years at 'BAMA in the late 1970s would have been normal and unsurprising as a news story in Tuscaloosa.
That means the followup article will probably paint him as a helpless victim of post traumatic stress syndrome. Obviously this death inflicted on a man turned criminal because he was desperate to feed his DRUG HABIT family is now the fault of BUSH because he took the steps to expand the military following the 911 attacks....
“if he’s already a combat veteran and attending school on the GI Bill.”
